    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Cell Biology
    • Acoustics

    Background:

    • Conventional in vitro ultrasound systems (petri dishes, well plates) suffer from acoustic reflections and pressure accumulation, hindering reliable and reproducible results.
    • Existing custom sonication setups are often complex to assemble and lack compatibility with diverse experimental configurations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an easy-to-use, 3D-printed device for in vitro ultrasound applications that overcomes limitations of conventional systems.
    • To optimize ultrasound wave propagation, ensure contamination prevention, and enhance cell culture reliability for sonogenetics and ultrasound modulation studies.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel 3D-printed device was designed using parafilm, Mylar, and polystyrene films for top and bottom sealing.
    • Pressure field mapping using a needle-hydrophone validated predictable ultrasound pressure distribution within the device.
    • Primary rat astrocytes, microglial cells, and human embryonic kidney HEK293t cells were cultured on Mylar films; cell viability was assessed via trypan blue exclusion.

    Main Results:

    • The 3D-printed device demonstrated effective ultrasound wave propagation with minimal interference from parafilm, Mylar, and polystyrene films.
    • Cell culture on Mylar films showed high viability, confirming the feasibility of seeding various cell types.
    • The device maintained sterility and prevented leakage, proving its efficacy for reliable cell culture experiments.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel 3D-printed device offers improved control over ultrasound parameters delivered to cells in vitro.
    • Its adaptable design and ease of use enhance accuracy and reproducibility in ultrasound modulation and sonogenetics research.
    • This system provides a reliable platform for advanced cell culture studies utilizing ultrasound technology.
